Why our postal workers are striking

There have been regular days of action by UK postal workers since August. Even though it’s tucked away from passers-by, the depot in Drury Lane on the Ponswood industrial estate has had an active picket line every strike day – come rain or shine (and there’s been a lot of days of rain). As we enter December, there’s still no offer on the table that is acceptable to these essential workers. Seven days of strike action are planned between now and Christmas. HOT’s Erica Smith interviewed a long-standing local postal worker to find out why our posties are holding out for a better deal.
